I need help rooting my phone, it's an LG Optimus S LS670

[sfhub]

I downloaded the ZVD and put it on my SD card, but when I went to reboot my phone and recover it and what not, it didn't show it and it stayed as ZVJ:/

So you weren't able to boot into recovery?

How did you reboot to recovery (ie see a text-based menu with an option to apply:update.zip)?

Did you use the Home+VolDn+Power key combination?

What are you saying here? You are not being specific and assuming that we know what you did. What is "the ZVD?" The stock ZVD update.zip? A custom ROM built for ZVD? A tool that roots ZVD?

Putting any file on your SD card just puts a file on your SD card. I wouldn't expect anything at all to happen.

I got to the recovery screen, and chose applu sdcard:update.zip part, then I wiped the data/factory reset thing :/

What did it do when you applied sdcard:update.zip?

It said that there was nothing on it to update, and then said error.

Did you put the zvd update.zip on the root of the sd card? Meaning, don't put it in any of the folders that are on your card.

If so, make sure it is just named 'update.zip' and not something weird like 'update.zip.zip' (that happened to me once...annoying)

Indeed. Windows has a bad habit of hiding known file extensions to make management seamless to the user but the problem with that is that sometimes things get double-extension'd like what Zhara said in the quote. So if your computer has the default folder settings and you don't normally see files with the extensions .exe, .doc, etc. remove the extension from your filename and it should still say "Compressed Folder". If it does, that's probably all that was wrong.
